NIPT Test

I had my blood drawn for the NIPT test today. They said it will take up to two weeks for the results. With my first we got it back in exactly 7 days, weekend included. How long did it take you guys to get your results if you did the NIPT test?

Weight 30+1

I’m quite anxious. According to pregnancy+ baby is around 3lb 4 at 30 weeks. I’m 30+1 and according to my scan today baby weighs 3lb 12oz. Is this normal? Does this mean I’m going to have a big baby? I’m quite scared as I’m a FTM and the thought of giving birth to a huge baby fills me with anxiety Incase I rip etc🤣

First trimester weight gain

Anyone else not overeating or changing their routines but gaining 5-8 lbs in the first 6ish weeks? Super bloated in the uterus area this time around. Really hoping it’s water weight but I have to say I’m getting kinda nervous about it and frustrated.

Glucose test

I've got my glucose test in the morning and feeling so nervous. All I've seen are stories about how bad it makes you feel, tastes bad etc. I'm most nervous about having a blood test without eating (I tend to faint normally if I don't eat before). Did anyone have a positive experience?

Is anyone else struggling?

I’m feeling so rough, constant nausea, holding back the sickness as I know it’ll just make me feel worse, no appetite, floored with fatigue. Struggling with looking after my 2 year old, I have zero patience. Trying to get through each work day. I’m happy I’m having another baby but I am miserable at the moment....

Vent

Just need to vent. Feeling so frumpy lately. Maternity clothes baggy now and pre-baby clothes are far too small. I didn't really focus too much on weight at the start but I'm now 5 months post partum now and feel like I'll never get back to pre-baby.

Has anyone else got the same 2 biggest fears as me?😂😂

My biggest fear is what if my baby doesn’t smile, walk or babble when he should and also that what if he grows up and doesn’t like me or doesn’t want to cuddle or something 😂 is this a normal worry what other parents have too? He’s 7 weeks and far all he really does is frown at me 😂

Weaning

Maybe i’m being stupid? but i’ve seen a few posts on here about when people are weaning ect… I don’t understand (so would love for someone to explain🙈) why people say their kidneys/digestive system isn’t ready for food yet, however it CAN be advised by HV, paediatricians and doctors due to low weight, reflux ect……
